Let's get this out of the way: "Ocean's 13" is way way better than "Ocean's 12." If I'd been a blogging man back in December of Ought Four, I would have written something along the lines of "What were these people thinking when they made this movie?"
Thinking back on it, there were a few big problems with that movie. The entire plot was just so uncool. They were returning Terry Benedict's money? What gives? They were in boring ol' Europe? Half of the 12 was hardly mentioned. Julia Roberts played herself playing Julia Roberts? C'mon!
Every big problem with "12" was fixed with "13." It had its own difficulties and problems, but the movie was good fun. Back in Vegas, no Julia Roberts, a fun bad guy, the cast well uniformly well used, I thought.
Just good wholesome fun throughout. As long as it's set in Vegas, I'm totally OK with an "Ocean's 14."

But I loved Bruce Willis playing Bruce Willis running into Julia Roberts playing herself playing Julia Roberts. Practically Being-John-Malchovichy in a way.
I am also looking forward to the return of Former New York police officer, now Homeland Security employee John McClane. Hopefully it will make up for Die Hard with a Vengeance.
You didn't like DHWAV?
It had some moments. Like the drive through central park and the thing at the water fountain with the buckets.
But yeah, other than that ... LFODH does look better.
